PR Newswire (US)
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NFL Hall of Fame
wide receiver and broadcaster, Michael Irvin has joined the
unparalleled list of current and former celebrities and
professional athletes to have provided their names and likenesses
to support the deployment of Athletes for Life's ("AFL's) network -
including the revolutionary Signalife technologies - to eradicate
late-stage cardiovascular disease. Mr. Irvin had an unparalleled
career and was the ultimate "possession receiver" who was also a
pure - undeniable -- game breaker. He is regarded as one of the
most successful wide receivers in the history of professional
football, winning three Super Bowls, and nicknamed the "playmaker."
Irvin finished his career with 750 receptions (10th all-time) for
11,904 yards (9th all-time) and 65 touchdowns. His 47 100-yard
receiving games remains the third most in NFL history, behind Hall
of Famers Jerry Rice (65) and Don Maynard (50). Mr. Rice is also an
Athletes for Life member for purposes of ridding society of the
same fate brought about by late-stage cardiovascular disease.
Lowell Harmison commented: "We cannot level the playing field for
all people of all demographic groups without having legendary
superstars like Mr. Irvin who see the vision like we do. Only with
early intervention and effective, accurate care can the problem of
cardiovascular disease be effectively dealt with. We are extremely
excited that Mr. Irvin sees the vision and the importance of this
project to his friends, family and those to whom he is a role
model." Willie Gault, AFL's founder, stated that "it is rare to
have one of my personal heroes stand alongside me to fight this
disease. It is an easy equation, involving early detection and
effective care. As athletes, we know that the heart must be at
stress in order to accurately determine and predict its likely
reaction to the challenges created throughout a patient's lifetime.
I am so proud and encouraged by having my friend Michael Irvin join
the overwhelming number of athletes who have simply decided that
they are going to make the difference." About Signalife Signalife,
